1336 Drumming for the First Time
Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com
Johnson Clark looked up and down the youthful Renly Hall in front of him.
He didn't like Renly.
Strictly speaking, it's not that he doesn't like Renly, but that he doesn't catch a cold.
He always believed that "Renly Hall" was nothing more than a mythical image created by the news media and social networks, just like Tom Cruise, Taylor Swift, Harrison Ford, Beyonce, etc. Wait, people can't wait to put labels under their names, and more and more people adore and love them, but in the end, no one can really understand the real face behind their masks.
Maybe Tom Cruise is a big guy, maybe Taylor Swift is a moldy house girl, maybe Harrison Ford is an old collector, maybe Beyonce is a narcissistic princess...
In this regard, Johnson has no opinion, because this is the necessity of the commodity society. He is simply not interested or curious. In comparison, he still prefers "reality", those that exist in real life. People and things are more important.
Looking at Renly's story, any reasonable person would think "that's bullshit." Everyone is worshipping, everyone is bowing their heads, and everyone is full of praise, like a perfect fairy tale.
Especially in the recent period of overwhelming praise, what egot, what movie king slam, everything is really too outrageous, that guy is only twenty-four years old, okay? Strictly speaking, not yet twenty-four! I can't believe it, it's as if this actor is the only one left in the world.
But the problem is that even in fairy tales, Cinderella is not the good girl everyone praises. So, why can there really be a "perfect" in real life? It's really the great Miao of the barren world.
Johnson doesn't see Renly as an exception.
Even George Slender and "Don Quixote", who have been sought after by countless people, are just another beautiful fairy tale. George Slender was originally a commercial music producer. The real ballad has long since been annihilated in the occasion of the times, just like "rock is dead".
In other words, what Renly owns, in Johansen's view, is just another commodity created by the Hollywood film industry.
To be more precise, Johansson doesn't like it or hate it, but...don't care. Or, indifferently.
This time, the reason why he was willing to take over this teaching job was the persuasion of his friends.
"Anyway, you've been teaching drum kits, and there are quite a few annoying students. No matter how scary it is, it's not worse than the neurotic boy who smashed the drum kit last time. You treat him as Just another normal student. You didn't raise or lower the price, it's normal, isn't it?"
Johnson couldn't argue with that.
So, he appeared here.
However, before we met, Ren Li was already late, and he had to go out to look for it in person. Such a student was not the only one in the world, and it was definitely an alternative. As Johansen said, "everything above the media is a lie." He's not at all surprised that Renly now proves all his thoughts and speculations.
After the real meeting, Johansen felt a little strange.
Just a face-to-face impression has broken the fixed pattern conveyed by all the news media. It is unimaginable that the man who is now making history step by step is just a free and sunny street boy; but from another point of view, This also directly proves Johansen's idea.
Thoughts were surging in his mind, but on the surface, Johansen still maintained a polite smile, which was basic etiquette.
Sensing Renly's suspicious gaze, Johansen explained calmly, "I don't think you have a cell phone with you. When I called just now, a man with a calm and cold voice answered the phone. He told me, you It should be lost, but the range is not too far. After walking around two blocks around, you can find the figure. So, I made a special trip to try my luck.”
Renly laughed dumbly, "Sorry, I'm late."
Without quibbling or resistance, Renly readily admitted his mistake.
This was a little surprising to Johansen—his words were very cryptic, and he didn't accuse him in any form, but Renly faced up to his mistakes. Perhaps, this shows that he is a young man with a tutor, and that's all.
Renly could faintly sense Johansen's displeasure. Although Johansen thought he was doing a very good job of disguising himself, he was invisible in Renly's eyes; however, this cannot be blamed on Johansen, being late at all times is a very rude behavior. It's his fault.
In fact, Renly left the house forty-five minutes early, but wandered around the neighborhood for thirty minutes, unable to find his destination, and ended up being late. Does this mean that next time he should go out an hour earlier? Or simply bring the human/body/navigator the Honourable Matthew Dunlop?
"Let's start the lessons now. Study, we must hurry up." Without any other explanation or politeness, Renly cut to the point with a smile, polite and gentle.
This is the second time Johnson has been surprised.
I met a student from a wealthy family before, who was high after being late
Shangdi said: The billing is still carried out according to the original time, and the late part will be calculated as usual, so there is no need to worry.
Of course, this is what Johnson cares about, but the problem is that he is not short of ten minutes or twenty minutes. He can completely make up the time and exchange his actual labor for his own reward. The other party's attitude is as if he is a beggar, and it is really unpleasant to worry about the little time fee.
But Renly didn't. His talk was focused on learning lessons.
Maybe, his tutor is really good.
Johansson nodded, "The classroom is actually on the corner of the street, you are already very close, let's go over together." But just as he walked away, Johansson had to reluctantly say again, "This direction, that is the opposite direction. "Then he saw Renly's bewildered look in his eyes, and he nodded affirmatively. "Yeah, you got it wrong. I'm pretty sure."
The music classroom was indeed on the corner, less than a hundred meters from where Renly was. But for Lu Chi, it was a maze-like road.
It is said to be a music classroom, but it is actually an old teaching building on the campus of the New York University School of Music. Now it is more often used as the residence of the student club, where students themselves conduct rehearsals, performances and activities.
In addition, independent orchestras from Greenwich Village often hold performances here. The small performance venue can only accommodate about 50 to 70 people. The cost is not high, and the target audience is concentrated. It is really suitable.
Looking at the rehearsal room in front of him, Ren Li couldn't help showing a faint smile.
Mottled walls affected by the damp weather, broken spider webs hanging in the corners, a pungent musty smell in the air, and the dim yellow lights are weakly supported, lacking the support of sunlight, it seems that there is no Unable to light up the whole room, the dim and depressing atmosphere rolled down little by little, like the rainy sky in March, and there was no way to escape.
Once, Renly had been rolling off Broadway for a long time, in the years after arriving in New York, and in the years after the filming of "War in the Pacific", Renly frequented such buildings, such rooms, In a dark basement or in a dark corner, day after day, I struggled and struggled, silently looking forward to my hard work and hard work being able to break out into the world.
It wasn't a wonderful time, Renly had to admit.
Sometimes, in the middle of the rehearsal, the mouse just crawls over the feet of the actors, or the cockroach falls from the ceiling, from the chicken flying dog at the beginning to the calmness later, this is a process, not only because of habit , but also because their performance stage may also face the same situation.
But it was an irreplaceable time. Without the tempering and precipitation at that time, there will naturally be no subsequent rise and growth, even if the two worlds are human beings.
"Sorry, that's what the rehearsal studios are like here. Spring has just passed, and it's really too humid in downtown. It won't get better until July. Please be patient." Johansson's tone was as calm and unhurried as possible. He made a simple explanation, and before the other party opened his mouth to stab, the ugly words came first.
Johansson turned his back to Renly, and Renly couldn't see his expression, but his calm tone revealed too much.
Renly could open his mouth to explain, to build bridges and bring them closer by remembering bittersweet thoughts, but he didn't think it was necessary, he didn't need to be friends with everyone, and he couldn't be friends with everyone.
"Then let's hurry up and get out of here," Renly joked ironically.
Johansson was slightly stunned, he couldn't tell whether this was a joke or not. However, Renly's immediate words interrupted his thoughts, "Which drum kit belongs to me?"
"On the right." Johansson came back to his senses and replied subconsciously, before he restrained his thoughts and formally threw himself into his role as a teacher, "Have you ever learned drums before? I mean, any kind of drums , even if it’s just playing; what about other instruments? Every instrument is related to rhythm, and as long as it is a melody, it hides the rhythm.”
Johansson began to enter the state skillfully, "Well, you sit behind the drum first, according to your way and your understanding, relax, don't need any burden, play a few rhythms at will, even if it is random percussion Alright, let's get a feel for the rhythm and rhythm of the drums and then we'll talk. What do you think?"
"No problem," Renly agreed readily.
